Sommario
This chapter investigates the remarkable abundance of scribal marks in the Great Isaiah Scroll (1QIsaᵃ), which far surpasses any other Qumran manuscript in both number and variety. The authors explain how horizontal strokes, X-shaped marks, and other marginal signs interact with the scroll's paragraph divisions to select, structure, and highlight the text. Some marks appear to have been added by the original scribe, while others reflect later readers' interventions, suggesting a layered history of use. The analysis reveals that these markings were not arbitrary but rather served distinct purposes. Ultimately, the chapter portrays 1QIsaᵃ as a living document, actively engaged with by multiple hands across time.
